I participated in the development of EVA

"Whatever you worry about will happen."

Seeing that she had fooled him, Ibuki Emi breathed a sigh of relief, and then apologized with an apologetic look on her face.

"Feel sorry."

"Nothing, it's not a big deal, I'll just tell my assistant later."

After saying that, he sent a message to Akagi Eri to explain the situation.

[Okay, I'll go over and take care of it later.]

【Thanks for your hard work. 】

【You're welcome.】

At this time, Ibuki Emi suppressed her shame and asked Ikari Fumihiko.

"How's my grandpa doing?"

I was indeed drunk last night, so some of my memories are fuzzy, but I haven't forgotten Ikari Fumihiko's promise.

Although Ikari Yui agreed to everything, Ikari Fumihiko always felt that things might not be that simple.

In order to avoid making Ibuki Emi anxious, he could only keep this worry hidden in his heart.

"It's been resolved."

Ibuki Emi hurriedly asked for details.

"How did you solve it?"

There are too many things to explain, so Fumihiko Ikari naturally can't say it clearly and can only be vague.

"There are many things involved, so it's hard to explain. You just need to know that I discussed this matter with Minister Ikari."

Ibuki Emi still didn't quite believe it, but since Ikari Fumihiko said so, she had no choice but to believe it, and now she could only trust Ikari Fumihiko.

"How about starting the experiment?"

"You don't need to attend."

In order to reassure Ibuki Emi, Ikari Fumihiko could only add a lie.

"It seems that the top management wants to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible and is preparing to replace the experimental subjects of the project team."

When Ibuki Emi heard what Ikari Fumihiko said, she began to believe his words. She had only a vague understanding of the technology, but she knew that in the current situation, the enemy might appear at any time to trigger the third impact and destroy humanity. Naturally, the top leaders hoped that EVA could form combat power as soon as possible.

She is too old. Even if Fumihiko Ikari's plan is implemented, it will take more than ten years to train a pilot.

This time span is really too long.

"Do you have to do this?"

Fumihiko Ikari could only continue to make up stories based on the topic.

"You should know better."

"..."

Ibuki Emi naturally knew that this was something that had to be done.

The reason why such stupid questions are asked is that the tragedy has not disappeared, it is just that others have taken over the responsibility.

This made her feel a little guilty.

It was not until then that he noticed that there was something wrong with Ibuki Emi's expression, and Ikari Fumihiko reacted belatedly.

"In fact, even if I didn't discuss this with Minister Ikari, the higher-ups would have canceled today's launch test."

Ibuki Emi asked hurriedly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"what happens?"

"The international situation has changed. Many resources are difficult for organizations to obtain. In order to save unnecessary expenses, we have decided to dismantle the test machine in the near future."

"Ah? How could this be? Isn't the E-Project supported by the United Nations..."

Professor Yamaki did not explain the situation of the organization to Ibuki Emi, so she has always believed that the organization was supported by the United Nations or national forces led by the United States.

Now, after hearing what Fumihiko Ikari said, I realized that I was wrong.

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised why Ibuki Emi would have such an idea, but he understood it after thinking about it. If he did not know the truth in advance, he would probably associate the organization with national power. Whether it is the terminal equipment here or the various precious resources consumed in research, they are all national strategic materials.

"It should be that EVA is about to be completed, and there are disagreements on the distribution of benefits."

He didn't want to talk too much about this issue, so he gave a vague explanation and then changed the subject.

"Anyway, this is the situation now."

Ibuki Emi didn't want to continue talking about this sensitive topic, but she also felt relieved by Ikari Fumihiko's explanation.

But I'm still a little worried.

"Can I go visit Grandpa?"

“You can do it anytime, there are no restrictions on this.”

After a pause, Ikari Fumihiko continued speaking.

"Let's go eat first. After that, you can report to the Unit 00 project team to see the situation. If you want to visit Professor Yamaki later, go by yourself."

"Ah."

She responded first, then Ibuki Emi spoke again.

"Thank you."

"nothing."

Ikari Fumihiko was unwilling to admit that he had had sexual thoughts before, and added another sentence stubbornly, giving a definition to the matter.

"You don't have to be so polite. I'll help you, all because Kana asked me to look after you."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Ibuki Megumi responded by following Ikari Fumihiko's previous tone.

Whether it was because of Fuyutsuki Kana or he was just being stubborn, she could naturally tell the difference.

Ikari Fumihiko was somewhat embarrassed to have his thoughts seen through, and couldn't help but defend himself.

"If I really had bad intentions towards you, I could have succeeded as many times as I wanted last night..."

Halfway through his speech, he felt that the more he tried to defend himself, the less clear he became, so he shut his mouth and stopped explaining. No matter what Ibuki Emi thought, he had restrained himself and did nothing. Apart from going to the appointment, which was a little bit out of line, he had not done anything to let down Kana Fuyutsuki.

Even the extraordinary act of going on a date can be explained.

Ibuki Emi thought of what Ikari Fumihiko said last night and did not continue the topic, which made Ikari Fumihiko feel embarrassed.

"How's Kana doing lately?"

"not sure."

"what??"

Ibuki Emi was a little confused.

You value your girlfriend so much, but you don’t know her current situation! ? ?

Speaking of this, Fumihiko Ikari is also a little depressed.

"I don't know why I can't get in touch with you, and even if I do, I can't say more than a few words."

Ibuki Emi hesitated for a moment, but decided not to cause any trouble.

Not to mention that causing trouble would leave a bad impact, even if Ikari Fumihiko and Fuyutsuki Kana broke up, they might not choose to be with me.

Being together may not necessarily be suitable.

So he spoke words of comfort.

"It may be that they are too busy. The outside world is rebuilding after the disaster. It is normal for doctors to be busy."

"That's what I thought."

When saying this, Fumihiko Ikari sounded a little reluctant and unnatural.

I want to believe in Fuyutsuki Kana, but I don't have much confidence.

No matter what reason he gave, he couldn't understand why Kana Fuyutsuki was so busy that she didn't even have time to reply to a text message in a day.

113. Escaping will only make things pile up in your heart

Observing Ikari Fumihiko's expression, Ibuki Emi was a little surprised.

isn't it?

I haven't even made a move yet and they're already in trouble? No! How could I do such a thing?

"If you're really worried, you can make an appointment with her to have a good talk."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded. He didn't want to continue discussing this issue with Ibuki Emi, but he couldn't help it.

"I think so too. She doesn't give me any chance at all."

Ibuki Emi thought for a moment and then asked.

"Think about it first, have you done anything recently to make Kana unhappy?"

Ikari Fumihiko subconsciously looked at Ibuki Emi.

Ibuki Emi was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and felt a little embarrassed.

"What happened in the past two days doesn't count."

Ikari Fumihiko thought about it carefully, but couldn't find any problem. At this moment, what Ibuki Emi said last night flashed through his mind.

Kana is chasing the shadow of my ex-boyfriend in me...

Chasing shadows, isn't that ridiculous?!

Kana's ex-boyfriend is not dead!

The two reunited? ?

I couldn't help but scream out loud.

"It can't be that bloody!"

"What's so ridiculous? Tell me and I'll help you analyze it."

"Her ex-boyfriend is not dead?"

Hearing this, Ibuki Emi immediately understood what Ikari Fumihiko was thinking.

"Impossible, she witnessed her ex-boyfriend's death and that led to... uh, is there a possibility?"

"What's possible?"

"Her secondary personality has taken the lead. No! It's her main personality that has taken the lead again."

After a pause, Ibuki Emi continued her analysis.

"The main personality does not agree with what is going on between the two of you."

Ikari Fumihiko was confused.

Shouldn't a person with a dual personality enjoy double the benefits? How did he become two people?

"The secondary personality that is in love with me??"

Ibuki Emi was a little speechless.

"Your focus is still not on the main point as always. No! It's a bit weird."

"Uh, sorry."

Fumihiko Ikari admitted his mistake very straightforwardly. This was definitely not the time to worry about the main and secondary personalities.

He asked hurriedly.

"If that's the case, what should I do now?"

"I'll send a message first to test it out and confirm whether the current personality is the master personality."
